2x + 4y = 14
4x + y = 20

A.) 2x + 4y = 14
-16x - 4y = -80

B.) 2x + 4y = 14
-4x + y = -20

C.) 4x + 8y = -28
4x + y = 20

D.) 0-2x - 4y = 14
4x + y = 20

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

2x + 4y = 14  ---------- eq 1

4x + y = 20 ---------- eq 2

if you multiply eq 2 by -4 on both sides, you get

-4 (4x + y = 20) = -4 (20)

-16x -4y = -80 --------- eq3

we can see that eq. 1 and eq 2 together forms the system of equations presented in option A, Hence A is equvalent to the orginal system of equations given in the question.

The system of equations which is equivalent to the [tex]2x + 4y = 14[/tex],[tex]4x + y = 20[/tex]  is given in option [tex](A)[/tex] i.e. [tex]2x + 4y = 14[/tex] and [tex]-16x - 4y = -80[/tex].

What is system of equations?

System of equations comprises of two or more equations and seeks common solutions to the equations.

We have,

[tex]2x + 4y = 14[/tex]   [tex]........(i)[/tex]

  [tex]4x + y = 20[/tex]    [tex]........(ii)[/tex]

Now,

To check that which option suits best for system of equation,

Lets multiply equation [tex](ii)[/tex] by [tex](-4)[/tex],

  [tex](-4) (4x + y) = (-4)*(20)[/tex]

[tex]-16x-4y=-80[/tex],

So, this above obtained equation is in option  [tex](A)[/tex].

Hence, we can say that the system of equations which is equivalent to the [tex]2x + 4y = 14[/tex] ,[tex]4x + y = 20[/tex] is given in option [tex](A)[/tex] i.e. [tex]2x + 4y = 14[/tex] and [tex]-16x - 4y = -80[/tex].
